MANCHESTER and HARTFORD — Aetna Ambulance and ASM send Patient and Customer Satisfaction Surveys to a random sampling of patients who have received emergency or STAT inter-facility services from our companies.

The final question in the survey asks “Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve our service?” And, “Please use one word to describe us.”

Some of the answers/responses included:

• They were absolutely amazing. Although I don’t know their names they should know I appreciate their service. They were kind and compassionate. Especially when I arrived in the ER at Hartford…When you’re not feeling well it’s great to be taken care of. Please let them know I’m very grateful for their service. They made me feel like they cared. Seems simple yet so many people just don’t care these days! Keep up the great work! I hope we’ll never meet in the ambulance again – but if so, they’d be my choice! 🙂 (15-11255; M. Levasseur, M. Sparks).
